David Beckham admitted he is a "proud dad" as he posted a new photo of himself cradling his newborn daughter Harper Seven.

The black and white shot of the England star, with a close-up of the baby on his chest, was posted on Twitter by wife Victoria, who wrote: "I took this beautiful picture and wanted to share it with you, baby Harper cuddling Daddy! x VB"

David soon added the picture onto his Facebook page, accompanied with the following words: "Thought you'd like to see another picture of little Harper, I'm such a proud dad."

He also revealed a tattoo featuring his daughter's name along his collarbone, sitting above a design dedicated to his three sons showing Jesus being carried by three cherubs, as he removed his shirt following LA Galaxy's win against FC Dallas.

The new inking joins the 36-year-old's other body art, which includes the names of the couple's three sons - Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz - alongside one of his wife as an angel with the words 'Til death do us part'.

David has previously said his tattoos are very special to him: "Most of my tattoos are memories and things that mean things to me."
